JUSTANOTHERBOTTLE was only fifth when attempting to win the Great St Wilfrid for the second time here last month. But that was his first defeat in four runs over course and distance and he is weighted to reverse that form with third Mark's Choice, another course specialist. He can land this for the second year in succession, despite being 5lb higher. Mokaatil may be best over a fast-run 5f but Music Society has claims having been prominent for a long way in last week’s Bronze Cup at Ayr. Abolish finished ahead of Ava Go Joe and Fortamour in the Silver Cup and Air Raid has been lightly campaigned this year. Speedacus only beat one home at Pontefract on Thursday having a first run for new connections.
